Larry also revealed that over 1 billion items are being shared on the network on a daily basis.

For Larry Page, Google+ is a part of his grand vision for the company. “Today, I see more opportunities for Google than ever before; we’re just at the beginning of what we want to do. We’re only at 1% of what’s possible. Google’s just getting started,” said Page.

Google has also reported that its net income in Q2 rose to $2.5 billion.
